NICS is VERY frustrating!

Entry into the VAF will not automatically result in a proceed response on subsequent purchases. A complete NICS check is still required and will result in a denial if additional prohibitive information is discovered.

I think this means that a UPIN is not a free pass to commit a felony and then buy a gun. If you get a UPIN, and then commit a crime, you are not going to get a proceed. At least that is how I read it.

I have only one customer who has a UPIN. He used to get delayed about every other time. Now he passes within 30 seconds every time.

It's only one person, but in my limited experience it seems to work. I think more people would do it, except (as mentioned) most people that get repeated delays just end up getting their CHL and that bypasses the NICS check here.

Hello
Any Ohio FFL holders out there know if Ohio accepts the CCL instead of going through the NICS background check on a hand gun purchase?

Won't work in Ohio.

If an applicant has lived for longer than 5 years in Ohio, they perform a state level BCI check, not a full FBI check. Since no NICS check is performed, the license does not help anything when buying a firearm.

That is also why Texas and other states that require a NICS check do not have reciprocity with Ohio.
